70's Driving Cabinet Artwork idea
« on: February 27, 2015, 05:00:49 am »
I'm thinking of building a driving cabinet in a similar style to the Sprint One design. While I love the artwork on the Italian version (http://www.vernimark.com/?cat=16), I think I would have a hard time reproducing this.

I was thinking about using using a load of 70's style racing stickers for sideart, like you see mechanics toolboxes covered in. What do we think of this idea? Has anyone else done it?

Well, to me it looks like the Sprint 2 sideart, but in another color scheme.
There should be images with reasonable resolution to start from. Ideally if someone has vectorized it already.

Got some spare time and started to cleanup this artwork... will be vectorized eventually when I think I got far enough with it.

Embiggen for full effect!  Coming along well.

How do you suppose that was originally applied? Vinyl?

On my Sprint2 cabinet it is vinyl. Perhaps it would be possible to paint with stencils...

Nice one :)

I used one of those online vectorisation sites to convert the Sprint 2 flyer art which looked pretty good, but the car details are slightly different to the sideart. Not sure the automatic vectorisation is good enough either - I might have another look at it...

I'm using an old version of Vector magic, that does a pretty good job. The only thing holding down the quality is my lack of knowledge of all the settings...
Seems that they have an online alternative as well, and maybe it is that one you are referring to?

Anyway, if anyone want's a vector version of this picture I will share it (in desired format). There is a dedicated thread for this in the Artwork section.
